Showing once again the relevance of the degree programs offered at the Monterey Institute, employers flocked in unprecedented numbers to the annual MIIS Career Fair, held on Friday, February 24 at the Monterey Conference Center. A record 109 employers participated in the Career Fair this year, representing large corporations such as Apple, eBay and HSBC as well as government agencies and local and international non-profit organizations.

“We’re delighted by the record turnout for this year’s career fair,” commented Institute President Sunder Ramaswamy. “The enthusiastic response we received from employers speaks volumes about the value they place on the kind of highly practical, cross-cultural professional skills that Monterey Institute graduates acquire.”

Students introduced themselves to employers at booths, learning about job opportunities, dropping off resumes, and setting up interviews. Workshop panels featured Institute alumni and invited guests talking about their professional experiences and offering tips on launching a career, networking, and advanced career strategies.
